A Summer Journey

I always dream to go to the Green Gables House...

It is not easy to go there because it cost a lot on its transportation.
But,

the price would not be that important for me.

The Confederation Bridge is the world's longest bridge over ice-covered water and links Borden-Carleton, Prince Edward Island with Cape Tormentine, New Brunswick.

My own celebrity party

Astrid's Celebrity Parity

• Who do you want to invite?

I would like to invite Kirsten Dunst, Alexis Bledel, Queen ElizabethII, Bruce Lee, and Roger Federer.

• Why do you have people sitting next to each other?

I would like Kirsten Dunst to sit next to Alexis Bledel, because they are almost the same age, and they are beginning their entertainment career from young modeling. Kirsten Dunst was used to a model when she was only 3 years old. Also, Alexis Bledel was a model in her teenage. So, they might get some topics to talk.

I would like Queen ElizabethII to sit between Alexis Bledel and Bruce Lee. Alexis Bledel becomes famous by acting "Gilmore Girls" which series explores family, friendship, generational divides, and social class. And we all know that Queen ElizabethII wasn't just born to be a queen. She might have some unforgettable and delightful experiences from her childhood. I am sure that they'll have an opportunity to exchange their experiences from American to British. Also, I arranged Queen ElizabethII and Bruce Lee sitting next to each other, because I think Queen ElizabethII may feel curious about Chinese Kung Fu, so she and Bruce Lee may have some talk.

I would like Bruce Lee to sit next to Roger Federer. For Roger Federer, after loosing Wimbledon Championships and Australian Open, he should try to find something to improve his skill. Maybe a little Chinese Kung Fu learning methods talking to Bruce Lee could inspire him.

Now it turns to me.
I would like myself to sit between Roger Federe and Kirsten Dunst. Roger Federe is my favorite tennis player. For watching so many games of him, I would really like to talk to him. Also, I think every young lady should have a gentleman stay with. Kirsten Dunst is another person I would like to sit with, because she is my favorite actress. I would like to know more stories sharing from her.

• What would you like to ask your guests?

I would like to ask Kirsten Dunst
---What roles do you like to act?

I would like to ask Alexis Bledel
---I know you didn’t finish your degree in NYU, and you really miss those days there. What place do you like most in NYU?

I would like to ask Queen ElizabethII
--- What is your favorite? …favorite person, favorite place, favorite book, favorite food, favorite color...

I would like to ask Bruce Lee
---What would you do if you have a chance to get retire?

I would like to ask Roger Federer
---Do you think you have prepared yourself having another competition to Nadal?
